Applioation'flled June 6,

The invention aims to provide a lined pipe fitting, valve casing or the like' which can be economically produced and which has certain other advantages referred to in de- 5 tail hereinafter. The accompanying drawings illustrate embodiments of the invention.

Fig. 1 is av longitudinal section of a T;-

Fig. 2 is a plan of the same;

Fig. 3 is a plan of part of the shell before assembly;

Fig. i isa section of an. elbow;

Fig. 5 is a blank from which the lining ma 'be formed;

ig. 6 is a perspective view of the same bent to final shape;

Fig. 7 is a similar view with the edges united;

Figs. 8 and 9 are similar views of modified styles of lining.

Referring to Fig. 1, a lining 1 is provided of non-corrodible metal such as brass or other-cuprous metal. Surrounding this is a body 2 of comparatively light sheet steel 1 or other ferrous metal, onthe ends of which R are mounted flanges or end pieces 3 of 7 heavier steel or it may be of brass or other metal, attached thereto by welded interlocked joints 4 made in a manner analogous;

to that described in my revious applica tion Serial No. 616,032. T e lining is made originally of such project as at 5 beyond the end pieces 3- of the outer shell. After the latter is assembled about the' lining the, ends 5 are spun .or pressed down to form flanges 6 lying in recesses 7 in the faces of the end pieces.

According to Fig. 4, the lining 8 coiricides in extent only .with the body 9 of the outershell, leaving the end pieces 10 exposed on their faces and on their inner edges 11. The

margins 12 of the end pieces projecting beyond the inner faces of the body and lining ma be wide enough to permit the cutting 0 threads of different .diameters to adapt the fitting to pipes of diiferentsizes.

' Fig. 4 shows the improvements applied to an elbow. It is to be understood,-however,

thatthe arrangement of the parts of Fig. 1

and of Fig. 4 may each be applied to a great variety of fittings and casings.

The body 2 of the shell may shown in Fig. 3, p stamped out of sheet steel and butt-welded together along the line 15. In assembling the parts, thesegments be made, as

dimensions that its ends .passed through the piping.

make 7 such methods advisable.

"at segments Y13 and 14' the lining is embraced between 13 and 14 and the latter welded 1924. Serial m5. 718,218.

together; after which the .end pieces are mounted as described and the lining flanged over them or threadscut inthem as desired.

The lining may be produced in a variety of ways, several methods of production for Ts being illustratedin Figs 5 to 9. The blank 16 has flanges 17 for forming the ends 18 and has flanges19 for forming the seg-" .ments which are to be. joined to produce the two segments 22 and 23 are not welded together they will be held in place by their shape and particularly if they are flanged over the end pieces as in Fig. 9 illustrates a 7 but provided :with ooves'26 and 27 in the plane of the axes o the parts, into which the body of the shell may be shaped to fit so as tolock the arts tightly together.

The joints at t e edges foreach of the Fig. 1,, V lining similar to Fig.

above cases may be made by soldering, by

various welding methods, or by mechanical connection.

It. is not essential that the lining be of copper or brass.- There are various other metals, particularly special steels and steel alloys, of their resistance'to corrosion, other metals which might be used to resist which are useful as linings because 7 and still the action of special fluids which are to be i The end pieces may be economically stamped out as complete rings, or as segments which areafterwards welded together.

Or they may becast or forged where the;

thickness or other special circumstances tenths particular embodiments shown.- Various modifications thereof may be made by those skilled in the art without departure from the invention as defined in the following claims.

great par- What I claim is 1. A ipe fitting having a linin stamped out of s eet metal. and bent into s ape with its edges united and an outer shell closely fitting said lining and formed of segments united at their edges.

2. The pipe fitting of claim 1 having separatel formed end pieces welded to the ends of t e outer shell.

3. A pipefitting having portions thereof at an angle to each other and comprising a lining stamped out of sheet metal and bent intoshape with its edges united and an outer shell closely fittin said lining and formed of segments welde together at their edges.

4. A pi e fittin having portions thereof at an ang e to eac other and comprising a lining stamped out of sheet metal and bent lining of sheet metal, an outer she into shape with its ed s united an outer shell closely fitting sai lining and formed outer surfaces of said outer shell and welded thereto.

5.- A pipe fitting having portions thereof at an angle to each other and comprising a l closely fitting said lining and formed of segments welded to ether at their edges and end pieces welded to the ends of the outer shell and having marginal portions pro'ecting beyond the inner faces of the b0 y and. lining.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto signed my name.
